The day following Thanksgiving is commonly known as Black Friday, and the following Monday is called Cyber Monday. These two days are among the busiest shopping days of the year.
While Black Friday is all about shopping in physical stores, Cyber Monday is its online version.
Retailers wanting to attract holiday shoppers provide exclusive deals and discounts. Shoppers flock to take advantage of huge discounts, resulting in a flurry of sales.

It’s no secret that traditional presentations can get boring for the audience as they often include many sentences, subheadings, and images—and that’s just the beginning.
You also don’t want it to look like a high school science project: all over-the-top formatting and an overwhelming amount of text.
So how can you make your presentation more engaging? Well, don’t worry anymore, we have got an alternative for you!
This is where animated presentations come in.
In this article, we have compiled the quickest and easiest steps to create an animated presentation using Animaker Deck.
With Animaker Deck, you can create your own animated characters and use tons of pre-built templates, millions of stock assets, real-time collaboration, and more!
It can do everything that Powerpoint can do and much more!
If you want to ensure your presentation keeps people engaged and interested, it’s time to change things up a bit from the usual way of creating a presentation.
So why wait? Let’s jump right into the steps!
Click here to log into Animaker if you’re already a registered user. If you are new to Animaker, you can sign-up and create an account with Animaker Deck for free.
Before we start to create a presentation, let’s spend some time understanding the user interface of the Animaker Deck app.
On the left side, we have the Library section. Under the library section, you can access the Templates, Characters, Properties, Text, Background, Images, and Upload features with a single click.
Moving on, to the right, we have the Slides section, where you can re-arrange the slides, duplicate the slides, delete the slides, and even make edits to the slides, such as transition effects.
In the center, we have a Workspace displaying the selected slide. Here you will add fonts, and images, change the background and other properties and make all the slides customizations.
And at the top, you will find options to Share, Import, and Present the slide deck.
We shall look into each option in depth in the upcoming steps.
There are two ways to create an animated presentation in Animaker Deck
2. Creating an animated presentation from templates
Let’s get started right away!
One way of creating an animated presentation in Animaker Deck is from scratch on a blank canvas. Here’s what we will cover:
Using the Backgrounds feature, you can easily search and apply backgrounds according to your preferences.
The best part is that you can customize the background colors to match your slide style.
For instance, let’s say you want to create an intro slide for your business. First, choose a suitable background for your slide from the Library.
Once you find and select a suitable background, it will appear in the central workspace. Also, you will notice a few options pop up in the workspace. It is called an “item menu.”
You can customize the colors, add filters, swap elements, and resize and delete the elements in the slide from these options.
Do all the presentations you have made so far lack personality?
You can now infuse life into the slides with the help of Animated Characters.
With Animaker Deck, you can create your personalized characters or use the built-in characters from the Library section, whichever fits your scenario.
In this instance, let’s choose one from the built-in character library.
The selected character will appear in the slide, along with the item menu. Use the options in the item menu to customize the character per your preferences.
Also, you can find the Actions and Expressions section on the right side of the workspace. Apply a suitable action and expression to your character from the available options.
If you are not happy with the pre-built characters, you can even create and introduce your own custom characters into the slide deck.
Use the Create Your Avatar button under the Characters feature to create your own custom character.
Animaker Deck offers you options to create a character between Young Adults and Children.
Pick the one as per your preference. Once you select the type, you will be taken to the character customization screen.
Here you can customize each and every aspect of your character, starting from head to toe.
This is the cherry on top of the Animaker Deck app. This way, you can introduce yourself as a character in your presentation as well.
Once you have finished the customizations, save your character and refresh the project. You can find the newly created character in the My Characters tab under the Character feature.
Animaker Deck is loaded with tons of Properties. Icons, Graphs, Charts, Numbers, Illustrations, or anything you name, are covered under the properties section.
Now, let’s add a speech bubble to the character. You can do this by searching for a speech bubble under the properties section in the library.
Once you select the speech bubble, it will appear in the workspace. Use the item menu options to customize the size and color.
You can also add animation effects to the speech bubble from the options available on the right side of the workspace.
Introducing entry and exit animations to the properties in the slide adds extra appeal to the presentation overall.
Using the Text feature, you can add text to your slides in two ways.
One is to choose and edit from the built-in text templates designed along with animation effects, and the second is to enter the text manually with text boxes.
Select a suitable text design from the Text feature under the library section.
Once you select the text design, it will appear in the workspace; now, you can type in the required text and use the item menu options to customize the color, font style, size, and alignment and adjust the case sensitivity of the text.
In this instance, we have used the empty text box design and entered the text manually. You can also use the built-in text design templates and edit them accordingly.
Also, it is possible to add animation effects to the text just like we did to the properties earlier.
You can even adjust the transparency of the text by using the transparency slider beneath the animation effects on the right side of the workspace.
This way, Animaker Deck gives a complete customization option for the users to edit and change the slides according to everyone’s preferences.
Another way of creating an animated presentation is from pre-built templates.
Here’s what we will cover:
Animaker Deck offers more than 50 professionally designed templates to choose from.
Use these templates to inject fresh ideas into your static slides!
The templates feature is on the left side under the library section.
Go carefully through the different templates and select a suitable one for your use case. Then click Add all.
A pop-up window will appear, asking you to overwrite; click confirm to insert the template.
Once you have clicked the confirm button, all the slides will be inserted into the project.
Now the best part about creating an animated presentation from templates in Animaker Deck is that every aspect of the template is completely customizable. The three main aspects of the template that you can customize as per your preferences are
Select the Text that you want to edit. Then click on the Settings option from the item menu. You can find different options to customize the text on the right side.
For instance, you can choose a different font, change the font’s color, and adjust the line spacing. You can also make the text a Hyperlink by toggling the Hyperlink button.
Use all these options to edit the text according to your preference.
Select the Character and use the item menu to customize it. You can alter the color of the character and its attire as per your preference.
You can also introduce actions and expressions to the character and bring life to your presentation. Simply select an action under the action tab, and it will reflect in character immediately. It’s that easy to animate your characters.
Also you can even introduce your own custom characters into the slide deck.
Use the Create Your Avatar button under the Characters feature to create your own custom character.
Animaker Deck offers you options to create a character between Young Adults and Children.
Pick the one as per your preference. Once you select the type, you will be taken to the character customization screen.
Here you can customize each and every aspect of your character, starting from head to toe.
This is the cherry on top of the Animaker Deck app. This way, you can introduce yourself as a character in your presentation as well.
Once you have finished the customizations, save your character and refresh the project. You can find the newly created character in the My Characters tab under the Character feature.
Animaker Deck, in partnership with GIPHY, PEXELS & PIXABAY, provides access to thousands of quirky gifs and iconic images which can be used in your slides with a single click.
You have the flexibility to even customize the existing background image in the template as per your preference.
Select the Background image and use the Item Menu options to edit the elements present in the background image.
For instance, you can alter the color of the elements, resize them, group them together or delete them.
Also, you can introduce animation effects to the background image to lit up the presentation.
However, if you are still unhappy with the customizations, Animaker Deck has covered you with the Upload option.
Animaker Deck offers up to 25 GB of storage space for you to upload your custom files onto the slide decks.
That’s some steal, right?
You can upload your own custom images and images into the slide decks by using the Upload feature in the library section.
Click on the Upload button to browse files from your local disc and upload them directly to your project.
Another simpler way of customizing your background is by playing around with the colors.
You can use solid colors as a background, or even better, you can use gradient colors matching your presentation style.
You can add up to five colors and create a gradient-style background on your own!
This way, you get complete control over the selected template and customize it as per your needs.
Once you’ve finished customizing the template, click on the present button to preview the entire presentation.
Once you have added the character, text, and properties and selected the suitable background, it’s time to preview how everything looks together when presented.
To do this, head to the Present option in the top menu. Clicking on the Present button will allow you to preview the slide in fullscreen.
This way, you can check and alter the slide’s contents accordingly. It’s that simple to create an animated presentation from scratch in Animaker Deck.
Similarly, you can add more slides and customize them according to your use cases.
If you are working in a team, the next step is to get your presentation reviewed by your tea members. A collaborative review process can help elevate your presentation’s quality.
Use the Share button in the top right to share the presentation with your team. All you need to do is enter your colleagues’ email addresses and choose between copy and edit links.
Animaker Deck makes it easy for you to collaborate with your entire team and edit your slide decks together in real-time.
Also, there’s an option to preview the created slide decks with the help of the Present button in the top right corner.
Use this present button to review all the changes, animations, and other transition effects made (if any) throughout the slide.
And that’s a wrap!👏
You have now successfully learned how to create kick-ass animated presentations in a jiffy.
With the advent of influential online presentation makers like Animaker Deck, creating professional-looking animated presentations has become easier and more affordable than ever before.
It is only the beginning! The world of presentations awaits you!
Get started and sweep your audiences right away!
Take me to Animaker Deck!Instagram is a goldmine when it comes to social selling. And, of course, no sales-minded business will ignore a platform with over 2 billion active users.
About 44% of users shop on Instagram weekly.
This points to one thing – the amount of sales happening on Instagram is crazy.
But even after all that, many businesses and brands complain of low sales, which makes them think selling on Instagram isn’t for them.
Are you one of them?
Then keep reading because I will show you 8 practical ways to boost sales on Instagram.
Instagram is a visual platform where photos and videos resonate with users. Many of these users aren’t there just to entertain themselves with videos from their favorite influencers.
They also want to discover products and services that will solve their problems. And packaging what you offer in the form of photos, infographics, and videos is the best way to attract them.
Apart from that, there are other benefits of selling on Instagram:
Let’s dive into the 8 ways to boost your sales on Instagram.
1. Build Your Audience & Warm Them Up With Quality Content
2. Leverage User-Generated Content
3. Use Chatbots To Automate Conversation
4. Post Customer Reviews
5. Tell Story On IG Stories
6. Host Giveaways to attract customers
7. Offer Discounts for your products
8. Work With Influencers for better reach
Building your audience on Instagram is key to making more sales. Your customers are mostly your followers, and you need to work on them to move them down the sales funnel.
For a business with few or no followers, this is a challenge.
But there’s a workaround – you can leverage ethically built Instagram accounts with huge followers from services like Socialtradia to get started.
The first step is to understand your audience.
Identifying the right target audience and creating high-quality content is the recipe to warm up this audience. Otherwise, you lose them to your competitors.
You need to convince them that you understand their problem and are ready to help them out, rather than just selling to them.
Use images, videos, and other visual content to demonstrate that your solutions are far better than your competitors.
And this should be consistently pushing out all the features and benefits of your products. The aim is to flood their feed with valuable content that can prompt them to take action.
And that brings us to Instagram caption. Every post you make on IG has a caption that can make or mar that post. Your captions should be compelling and entice users to take action that can lead to sales.
You don’t have to break a sweat writing captions that will move the needle. If you aren’t an expert, use AI copywriting software that have Instagram caption templates. As simple as that!
Have you seen posts on Instagram where a customer shows off a product they bought from a particular page? You can see the excitement with which the post has been made!
That’s user-generated content!
It could be a picture of them wearing an outfit or a testimonial praising the products.
The brand may or may not have asked for the post. And the interesting thing is that these posts can be leveraged to boost sales.
How?
Search and collect all these UGC (it’s easy since the creators will tag and mention you). You can also turn your notification to monitor this.
Package them into videos and share them using different formats like reels, IG stories, and highlight albums.
Credit the users who posted by tagging them. This also helps in proving that the posts are by genuine, credible buyers.
Still not convinced how this can boost your sales?
Well, a target audience who knows about your products and is skeptical about making a purchase can be moved to try them, looking at such posts. When they see genuine users purchase your products and see good results from them, they wouldn’t want to be left out. Since it clears their doubts about your product, they would eventually be convinced to buy it.
Below is an example of how Gymshark leverages UGC to woo potential customers to take action:
When potential customers slide into your DM with questions about your products, it shows they’re interested in them. They will engage you in a chat to get all the necessary information before taking action.
That’s more like a lead waiting to be converted into a sale! You wouldn’t want to miss them!
Regrettably, you can’t be available 24/7 to keep such a conversation going. And that can mean losing a potential sale.
That’s where using a chatbot to automate conversation comes in. There are a variety of platforms like Manychat or SendPulse that can help you integrate an Instagram chatbot.
You can program it to engage a lead in a conversation on all possible questions about your product. The aim here is to ensure that any conversational marketing that will generate sales isn’t missed.
Reviews, especially positive ones, move the needle when it comes to boosting sales on Instagram. A potential customer who reads a positive review about your business or product is tempted to try it. After all, they want a product that can solve their problem.
A survey by FinanceOnline has it that 68% of customers will deal with business because of positive reviews.
But how do you collect and post reviews on Instagram when there isn’t a feature for this?
Reach out to loyal customers and ask for their sincere opinion about the product. If possible, let them make a post and tag you on a particular problem your product solved.
If you have an Etsy shop connected to IG, screenshot the reviews of customers and share them on Instagram.
Another way is to check your notification to see where your brand is mentioned and pick posts where a customer said good things about your products.
After collecting all this, make an Instagram story with them, add to your album highlights, and rename it “customer reviews.” That way, your potential customers can easily see them under your profile.
Check out this profile where customer Reviews have been added as highlights:
You can also arrange them as a photo or use them to create reels and post them on your page.
People connect easily with stories, and that’s why Instagram launched IG stories. Merchants are now using it to sell more of their products. 58% of IG users say that they are more interested in a brand after seeing them in a story.
So, if you are not leveraging IG stories, you will deny your business the opportunities for potential customers to discover it.
Here’s an example of a brand sharing their website on IG story.
Creating an IG story isn’t hard. You can package your product’s values and how it does better than your competitors into a story using the Instagram story maker from Animaker.
This targets potential customers who just discovered your product and are waiting for you to give them reasons to spend their hard-earned money on.
Hosting giveaways is like asking potential customers to try your products without committing. It boosts sales because someone who has reservations about your products will have a first-hand experience and then decide to buy.
The ripple effect is that lucky winners can share their experiences with their friends on Instagram. That creates more awareness and attracts more qualified leads.
Many small businesses and brands leverage it on Instagram.
Below is how Dermae hosts giveaways on IG to boost the sale of its skin care products:
You, too, can replicate it by following these steps:
Share the products you want to give out, and in the caption, state how your audience can participate and win.
Here is an example:
10 followers stand a chance of winning our newly launched product.
Want to be one of them? The rules are:
We will announce the 10 winners in 72 hours.
That was easy, wasn’t it?
Discounts are promotional baits that boost sales on IG. It can be coupons, free shipping, and any other incentive that encourages a potential customer to make a purchase.
According to a survey, 88% of US shoppers used coupons for purchases in 2020.
This tells you that offering discounts of any form can skyrocket your sales on IG.
Here is Crystalwellness offering a 25% discount on all its products for purchases above $1000:
What’s your reaction when your favorite celebrity endorses a product you like? You are tempted to use it, right?
Same works on Instagram, where a lot of users have influencers that shape their purchasing decisions. The idea here is to identify an influencer in your niche and partner with them to promote your products. This boosts sales directly or indirectly.
What will happen when an influencer in the travel niche makes an IG story about one of your latest travel packs?
Their audience will rush to your page to check out the product and probably buy. Others will follow you to keep up with your content and look for more products that will fascinate them.
Below is Thelostkanya, an IG influencer promoting mint ice tea from Teastoy:
Instagram is a cash cow for selling products and services online. But you must have the right strategies to up your game from making little sales per month to making multiple sales per day.
These 8 points mentioned above, if implemented, won’t only boost your sales but also earn you loyal customers who will return to make more purchases.
There is always something to be thankful for.
And Thanksgiving is celebrated every year to highlight the importance of that fact!
Sometimes, getting the best video ideas for Thanksgiving might be hard, so we have curated some cool ideas for you in this article.
But before we see them all, let’s understand the history of Thanksgiving, how it is celebrated, and more.
Thanksgiving day is considered a national holiday in the United States, Canada, Saint Lucia, Liberia, and Grenada. It is celebrated on the fourth Thursday of November.
It was originally observed to express gratitude for the harvest and other blessings of the preceding year. As years passed, it became a day to express gratitude for every good thing.
Did you know? The First ever thanksgiving was celebrated in 1621 over a three-day harvest festival that included 50 Pilgrims, 90 Wampanoag Indians, and five women.
The traditional way of celebrating Thanksgiving was by gathering family members and neighbors with a table filled with tasty dishes.
But now, since we are all confined to our homes, it goes about by gathering our friends and watching the classic Macy’s Thanksgiving day parade or a football game, or even by running a Thanksgiving Marathon.
While Turkey is well known as the traditional dinner for most people who celebrate thanksgiving, it was initially not even on the menu. Instead, it all started with Venison, duck, goose, oysters, lobster, fish, and eels served alongside pumpkins and cranberries.
Thanksgiving is considered a very important traditional family celebration. During this season, exchanging gifts with friends and family could represent a unique way of thanking someone.
Sales can be crazy for any business, as everyone will be scouting for gifts. Businesses can use this opportunity to promote their products and boost their sales.
Many prefer traditional gifts like greeting cards, flowers, and gift cards. But why choose the mainstream, conservative ways of gifting?
Isn’t it high time our gifts had a personal touch?
“What’s a gift with a personal touch” you may ask.
Well, any memorable gift showing you care is a good example. Finding such a heartfelt gift is quite tough in today’s world.
And instead of taking the usual “greeting card” or “souvenir” way, an excellent-looking Thanksgiving video might do the charm!
Are you wondering, “I don’t know how to edit or create a video; how can I create one for Thanksgiving?”
Well, Don’t worry! For this article about the best Thanksgiving video ideas, we will use a tool called Animaker, a simple DIY video-making platform requiring zero experience.

We’re all familiar with the old adage: “A good presentation is like a great conversation.”
What makes a presentation great?
Is it a compelling story? Or a good connection with your audience? Or is it about an eloquent delivery by the presenter?
The truth is, there is no “one-size-fits-all solution” for creating great presentations. Every presentation is different, and every audience is different.
When you’re tasked with delivering a presentation, you want to ensure it goes off without a hitch. We all know how important it is for the audience to remember and understand the content.
So if you’re wondering how to make a killer presentation that will stand out and stay in people’s minds for a long time, you’ve come to the right place!
In this article, we have addressed the most frequently asked questions about presentations.
We have also compiled a list of great presentation tips to improve your deck designs, presentation best practices, and effective ways to communicate the subject to your audience.
Here’s what the article covers,
When we think about presentations, we often think about the content itself. We imagine a long list of facts or figures, a well-rehearsed script, and a PowerPoint slide deck.
But what makes a good presentation? What makes it memorable, engaging, and valuable?
These are questions that any presenter should be asking themselves.
Here are the four characteristics of a good presentation:
Well, we’ve compiled some best presentation tips for you that will help make your next presentation memorable—and, more importantly, help you do what you came here to do: share information with the world.
So read on to find out.
Ever felt like you’re struggling to make a presentation on time? Worried about how good your presentation will turn out? We have all been there.
This is why we have put together a list of great presentation tips that can make your next presentation a breeze, and we hope it helps!
Here are some tips to help you create a great presentation:
Whenever a topic is assigned to you for a presentation, it goes without saying that you understand the topic correctly.
You must do proper homework and research on the subject to ensure you know what you’re talking about.
Reading articles and books, or even watching videos or podcasts, will help you understand the topic and how the presentation should be structured.
Also, if you need more background information on the topic, don’t be afraid to ask for help from other people—you might find that they know more than you think!
Take notes while learning about the topic. This will help you remember key points.
Then, read your notes before you present and practice saying them aloud (this will help with timing and pronunciation).
Use a timer; this helps keep track of how long you take to say things while also keeping yourself from getting too nervous.
Do some fundamental research on your audience and their expectations about your presentation.
For instance, If they’re business executives, they might be looking for intellectual information and numbers. Or, If they’re a general audience, they may want more details about how your product works or how it can benefit them.
You’ll be surprised how much more effective your presentation will be when you know,
Everything about the topic
How crucial it is for the audience, and
What the audience expects from the presentation
So only present a topic after doing loads of essential research!
An excellent way to ensure that your presentation is successful is by having a solid opening. Plan the intro slides ahead so that you can set the right tone for the pitch.
Have a strong opening statement that tells your audience who they are listening to, why they’re here, what they will hear from you, and anything else you want them to know!
`
Doing so will help keep your audience engaged and interested in what you have to say.
Be prepared for questions from your audience before you start speaking. It is not necessary that the audience must wait till the end to ask questions.
Being prepared will help you answer them well and present yourself as an expert in the field.
The first thing you should do is decide on a structure for your presentation. This will help you ensure that you cover all essential topics and leave no gaps in what you say.
The most successful presentations start with a strong introduction, followed by a clear and concise main body, and ending with a proper sign-off.
The body presents the study’s research, findings, and conclusions in an organized and engaging way.
The final section/sign-off should close with any additional information or recommendations. Not just that, it must also give the audience space to ask questions related to the presentation.
Each section can have about two or three minutes of content. This would help structure the presentation concisely and make sure to include all important information.
Use transitions between slides that move from one topic to another, rather than just jumping from one slide to another in one continuous flow.
This makes your content more manageable for your audience to follow and gives them more time to digest what they’re seeing before moving on to the next thing!
Hence, remember this effective presentation tip – follow a proper structure!
When you’re delivering a presentation, keeping your audience’s attention is essential.
But how do you make learning a little more fun? What are the best presenting tips and tricks?
Well, one way is by making sure that your presentation has a hook.
A hook can be anything from an element of surprise (like an announcement that will keep them anticipated till the end) to something unexpected (a discount!).
This will help to keep your audience engaged because they won’t feel like they’re reading through a textbook or manual – they’ll feel like they’re getting involved in your story.
Ideally, hooks are placed at the start of the presentation. It’s the part that acts as a surprise for the audience, keeping them engaged and excited, and would help retain the audience’s attention.
However, remember that the fewer distractions in your presentation, the easier it will be for them to see how amazing it is!
When you’re creating a presentation, it’s a thumb rule to make sure your slide decks are memorable and engaging throughout.
One of the best ways to do this is by telling a story—whether that’s a story about your business, your life, or anything else related to the subject.
Telling a story is the key to creating an excellent presentation.
Your audience will be more interested if they can relate to what’s on your slides. So tell them a story that connects with their lives and work experiences – it may be a funny anecdote or a relatable work prank!
Let’s say you’re talking about how to create a product. You can start by showing an image or a video of the product. You can develop the flow by telling the product story and how it has grown through the years.
That way, your audience gets to see both sides of the coin: what this product does and how it was made.
The more details you include in your presentation, the better it will be for viewers—not only because they’ll get more information but because they’ll also have more context for what they see on screen.
Hence, remember to carve your presentation with a well-practiced, engaging story.
People love visual aids—they help them remember things better than words alone!
When you’re presenting a product or service, you have to look at it from all angles—from the customer’s point of view, the provider’s point of view, and your own.
It’s essential to keep in mind that your presentation must build a connection with the audience. You must consider the audience’s needs and how you can meet them. The best way to bring that connection is not just through words but to incorporate visual proofs in your slide decks.
But the visual elements used must be relevant to the topic at hand.
For example, if your company is doing something great for the community, show pictures of people smiling in joy from being around you!
If you’re talking about how much money you’ve made over the years as an entrepreneur, add pictures of dollar signs!
Finally, make sure that everything in your presentation flows together nicely.
For example, if visual element parts don’t match, then consider breaking them up into two separate slides or changing how things are laid out so it doesn’t feel so jarring when someone views it.
Use quality screenshots and images that are relevant to the topic at hand. This is especially important when you’re speaking in front of an audience who may need to become more familiar with your product or service.
If possible, use photos or videos of people who might be familiar with your topic—people who will help convey your message more effectively than just text alone.
You don’t have to go all out on the graphics, but if you can, try to use high-quality images that are easy to understand.
With online presentation makers like Animaker Deck, you get access to the stock images library; you can pick and add high-quality images for your slide decks with a simple click now!
Also, the best part is you can upload screenshots and brand images directly into the app and use them in the presentation.
Ever wonder why some presentations are so dull? It’s because they’re dragging!
A good presentation should be at most 20 minutes at maximum and be structured so that even a first-time viewer can easily understand the information conveyed.
Ensure your audience knows what to expect from you and your content. Refrain from crossing the line of being boring or boringly informative. Your audience should never feel like they’re being lectured.
One key business presentation tip is to convey the message to the audience most memorably and engagingly possible.
It is really in the hands of the presenter to steer the audience’s attention throughout the presentation without giving too many dull moments.
The shorter, the better. Keep your slides concise, and avoid falling into the trap of talking about things that have nothing to do with your actual point.
If you’re trying to create an awesome presentation, you can do a few things to ensure it’s easy on the eyes and makes people want to engage.
One of the best methods for communicating the message in a light-hearted manner and making your presentation stand out is through humor.
Try to avoid text-heavy slides! You can use witty remarks, analogies, drawings, personal anecdotes, or even memes that suit current trends.
When you tell about something that has happened to you, people may be able to associate with it even more if the story is humorous.
This way, you can easily withhold the audience’s attention through the presentation.
When you’re creating a presentation, it’s important to keep the audience engaged and excited about what’s coming up next. Therefore, it is very necessary to make the presentation a two-way street.
A good way to do this is by asking questions during your presentation and allowing them to answer. This helps keep the audience interested in what they’re learning and makes them feel like they’re part of the conversation.
The audience should be engaged throughout the presentation and allowed to ask questions to the presenter.
However, it is also vital to ensure that the flow of the presentation is not disrupted by the bombardment of questions in the middle of the presentation.
To tackle this, the presenter can introduce a “parking lot” in their presentation.
So when the audience asks a question about a particular section in the presentation, the presenter can choose to park similar questions together and answer them all together at the end of the presentation.
This way, the presentation’s flow is not affected, and even the audience will get their questions answered.
This is an important skill to be imbibed by every presenter to ensure the audience feels comfortable and gains a good experience from the presentation.
One of the most important things to remember when creating a presentation is that you are trying to connect with your audience.
Learn to empathize with the audience. You’ll want to understand what they’re seeing, feeling, and thinking so that you can communicate your message in a way that resonates with them.
By understanding their needs, you can create a more meaningful presentation that will resonate with them. Try to put yourself in their shoes and imagine how they think about this topic.
Are they excited? Are they bored? What are they hoping for? What do they want to see from you?
Know your audience’s needs!
It would help if you talked to people with similar backgrounds as your audience and how they would like to be educated on the topic.
Before you start creating content for your presentation, think about who you’re speaking to and what they need from you.
When you do this, you will not only speak more clearly, but you’ll also be able to connect with them emotionally, making your message stick.
Have you ever been in a presentation where the speaker makes it look like a one-way conversation? It’s not an intentional act of rudeness—the speaker is just trying to get their point across.
But for the audience, it might be very disappointing!
The solution? Keep your presentation interactive with call-to-action buttons that let your audience help move things along.
When something important is being discussed, ask them to take action by clicking on one of the buttons that appear on the screen.
Include a call-to-action that tells your audience what they should do next (like sign up for my newsletter!) or take action on what you’ve just told them (like buy my product!).
So include call-to-action buttons wherever necessary, so viewers feel like they’re partaking in something meaningful rather than just watching someone talk for hours on end!
But one thing, don’t go overboard on those CTAs either. Too many CTAs can be bugging.
Creating a presentation is a complicated task, but it’s also incredibly important that you need to be able to convey information clearly and effectively.
That’s where data comes in!
Data can help you make your point by giving context and supporting the main points of your argument.
Incorporate data when required to present information to the audience quickly. This will make your audience understand what you’re talking about more efficiently and allow them to consume the information in a way that makes sense to them.
Use real-life examples and statistics whenever possible because people love those!
With an online presentation maker like Animaker Deck, you get access to the property section, where you can search and add charts, graphs, icons, and other properties directly into your slide decks with just a few clicks.
For example, if you’re presenting an overview of how your company’s business model works, include graphs or charts that show how the different parts of the model work together so that people who aren’t familiar with it can follow along easily.
Or, if you’re talking about something more complex, like an industry trend, use graphs or charts to illustrate key points about it, such as growth rates for specific industries over time or changes in consumer demand based on demographics.
You can also use numbers and percentages in charts when comparing different items or events.
It’s the era of social media. People are likely tweeting, emailing, or running their entire little business on their phones and sharing every life update on the internet while still doing other chores.
When used correctly, hashtags can: Persuade attendees to share your event on social media, give participants a way to continue the conversation online, and permit you to review tagged comments to evaluate consumer feedback.
You can create a hashtag for your event and use it in the presentation. Promote social media interactions with the hashtag. This will allow you to connect with other users interested in what you have to say!
You can help inspire viewers to share news, ideas, and updates about your presentation by linking this custom hashtag you created. It combines social interaction, event promotion, and word-of-mouth marketing into one.
So if you use social media in your presentation, make sure you promote the hashtag you’ll use. This will ensure that people who follow your brand or business see and interact with the hashtag!
